This is why you should use charcoal - Portrait Girl - FREE Art Tutorial (link in desc) 

Nothing looks great in painting sketching until the very end. :)

Right

@@atultayade my drawings do

soul, successfully captured! (thanks for the kind words noapology88)

With that one eye shown, it looked fine to me at that point. could have stopped there. Interesting effect

I also had my attention on that eye... :)

Like everyone else who clicked the video... I saw the finished results in the thumbnail before I started to watch the video. Makes for nice sentiment though... even if you did make it up.

"...how can someone be so beautiful?"

I fell

dude i feel you...it was like it was speaking to me

Wow one of the great painting..

That is a very pretty good looking girl, I like her.

What type of white pencils you are using

Hi, I wish to Sketch a portrait of my friend. Is there anyway you help me Sketch the same. Please, it's very important to me.

Even very dark graphite won't give you blacks because it has shine that catches light.

charcoal is the best way i found to achieve black m no matter the graphite grade it can only give different gradients of gray due to the light it catches , i do combine charcoal and graphite in many of my pieces

I agree with you. But this is no where near hyperrealism. Just realistic in style.

Maybe the interpretation of reality is a very real one. I completely understand the point you make, I look at charcoal portraits as much about negating interpretation of reality as I do interpreting reality, whatever that is.

Hyperrealism is when you struggle to tell the difference between the drawing and a photo of the subject that has been drawn, you will never see a hyperrealist start a drawing like this one. This is not hyperrealism, it's just an artist who completely understands the fundamentals of portraiture, therefore allowing him/her to be as abstract or exacting as they wish.

Colaris someone said that you shound not erase while drawing. But to me the eraser is just a pen on a negative setting. That is why I use two sizes

This is charcoal

@@overwatchar570 yes. and? Ah, perhaps you are responding to Colaris. Would be nice if you specified that in your comment. No need for the @ thing, just a name. It helps immensely with communication.

@@rthj6446 its called reductive charcoal for a reason @colaris

Sculpting?

thanks Marian!

Wau you words reached my hart more than the drawing

I used to be terrible at drawing pencil portraits. Now I draw them like a pro. Learn how to draw pencil portraits like a pro here: HootDraw.xyz

Youshould use kneadable eraser

Does anyone know what paper he uses?

Thanks!

to be honest it really helps to have a teacher to walk you through something. But if you must start on your own, just start.. start some where. I have some real time videos for free in my channel and you just have to dive in and figure out which direction you want to improve toward first.

there is only one artist behind this channel.

thx!

I'm thinking about doing the same tbh did you find any help then?

No u'll get there soon m8

They won't be in the future if you keep trying!

LOL!!

😂❤️keep trying

Tyler same

🤣🤣

i have some on that here and workshops and more real times videos i do on patreon. Been trying to get enough support so everything is practically free for everyone tho. maybe one day.

Eraser or white chalk? I don't know just a guess

might be the type of paper ur using isnt the best for manipulating charcoal. newsprint is one of the best

Lift dark areas by dabbing with a kneaded gum eraser and work in lighter tones on the dark areas with white chalk. Sometimes the white chalk won't work well over a thicker black layer but you can use a spray fixative to spray down the drawing and let it dry and then the white will go over those areas better

Same question

Joseph Willard probably right about that, so far I’ve been using strathmore toned gray paper and that other strathmore Griddy square paper. I never used newsprint tho. I’ll give it a try. So far I still leave uneven spots when I use the kneaded eraser, I’ll try different paper

Contrast. Depth.... The video didn't need any explanation.

Nyigam Bole I’ve recently been practicing with charcoal, before I mostly used graphite. After watching many videos, the tips that helped me most was using softer charcoal and loading the blending stump to draw and when I needed to erase gently erase to preserve the integrity of the paper I use. Use light pressure and the charcoal can be removed easier. It worked for me. I hope it works for you too and I hope you don’t mind a somewhat inexperienced artist jumping in on your question. I just noticed no one had responded to your question. Best regards.

@@everettwhite9874 appreciate that man!!.. I guess in the end, we follow the one who extends thoughtful help 🙂

Nikhil Kuanr probably a kneadable eraser

Please if u no track let me ni

Please can you tell me what track is it?

lmao... ! Practise harder than anyone you know, and you'll get there.

Drawing is based on skill. Always remember that you ARE capable. You just have to put in the work. Those who make the most mistakes end up being the most skilled.

Stnls you sure?
